Meet Sharon
Aloha! I’m Sharon, and I’m so happy to welcome you to Kona Bayview Inn. I grew up in Northern California and have lived in Michigan, Illinois, Rhode Island, and Florida, but the beautiful hillside of Captain Cook stole my heart and became my forever home.
One of my favorite parts of each day is waking up to the songs of tropical birds, breathtaking ocean views, and preparing breakfast for our guests. I love sharing stories, getting to know visitors from around the world, and helping create a memorable Big Island experience.
When I’m not baking fresh treats for breakfast, you’ll find me enjoying crafts, snorkeling, diving, walking, jogging, yoga, or indulging in a little online shopping. I feel incredibly grateful to call this special place home and look forward to sharing it with you.
Meet Thomas
Aloha! I’m Thomas, and I truly believe I’ve found my forever home here on the Big Island. Before settling in Hawaii, I lived in Michigan, Texas, Colorado, and Florida, and spent four years in Italy and Germany during my military service. While I’ve had the opportunity to experience many wonderful places, there was always something missing until I discovered the beauty, peace, and aloha spirit of Hawaii.
These days, you’ll often find me tending to our macadamia nut orchard, affectionately known as Pele’s Garden, grilling, working in the yard, taking photos, or exploring the ocean through diving. Most of all, I enjoy meeting guests from around the world and helping them make the most of their time on the island. And if you’re a cat lover, we’ll get along just fine—I absolutely love cats!
Our Mascots
Kona Bayview Inn is home to five cats and two adorable puppies, each with their own lovable personality. If you have allergies, you should be fine as our pets are not allowed in guest rooms (though they may try to sneak in if you leave your door open). Please let us know of any allergies before your visit, and we will take extra care to make the lanai area pet dander-free for your comfort.
